Niners Nation
Few wins are from last year, one win dates back to 2001.
The San Francisco 49ers got slapped with a terrible rest differential, two Thursday Night Games, and many other scheduling issues. Now that we have discussed that, it’s time to take a fun trip down memory lane of the last times they beat everyone they will face in 2025.
Last Win**:** October 10, 2024
Final Score: 41-23
There was a lot of bad to take from this game, along with the good. We’ll start with the bad: The 49ers’ tendency to let their foot off the gas and atrocious special teams play kept the Seahawks in this game far longer than they should have been. At one point, this was 23-3, then the 49ers’ special teams allowed a kickoff housecall and the Seahawks were right back in it. This was even more annoying when the 49ers' special teams were good in the first half.
Some terrible officiating gaffes hurt the 49ers as well. It also wouldn’t be a 2024 game without injuries, and Jordan Mason getting dinged up was the spot on your bingo card this night.
Now the good: This was a coming-out party for the rookies. Since the 49ers were on their heels the whole time, they needed someone to step up, and there were several: Renardo Green got a key interception when the Seahawks had momentum in the fourth quarter and could have taken the lead. That pick began moving things back to the 49ers’ way, of course, then you have to hope the defense can clamp down with six minutes left (and as we learned through the season, they couldn’t). So another rookie put a stop to this nonsense: Isaac Guerrendo made a sick dart across the field to put an end to things.
It was great seeing the players taken in the 2024 draft who would have a bright future, but it was also another indication that something was very, very wrong with the 2024 team.
Last Win**:** November 27, 2022
Final Score: 13-0
The last full game of Jimmy Garoppolo’s career happened here. The 49ers went up against what was considered one of the best defenses in the league and somehow got 13 points in this snoozefest of a game. Well, if you were watching the offense. Defensively, it was another story.
Regardless, the 49ers did get a win and a shutout. Can’t complain about that one.
Last Win**:** December 17, 2023
Final Score: 45-29
The Cardinals are a headache, and I’m never really sure why. The 49ers were swept in 2024 by the team, with their first contest being another death-knee to Nick Sorensen as defensive coordinator. The game also showed the 49ers’ identity as a team that couldn’t finish.
But we aren’t here to talk about losses, and we go back to the end of 2023 for the last win—, but it was still a headache; Kyler Murray returned to doing...
